This is a wiki for teachers of the new project-based biology. This is a place for biology teachers to be part of a countywide professional learning community where we collaborate electronically. Teachers can share/post resources: websites, activities, labs, DI, and other ideas that make instruction engaging. It’s also a place to ask questions, ask for help, and provide suggestions. Through collaboration, we can create and deliver instruction that meets the needs of all our students, fostering their success and thus helping eliminate the achievement gap.
For those of you not exactly sure what a wiki is or why we should use this format, please view this short video, What is a Wiki? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dnL00TdmLY

I will strive for high quality with every post – including basic spellchecking.

I will disclose conflicts of interest.
I will keep private issues and topics private, since discussing private issues would jeopardise my personal and work relationships.
